      TBH any 80s period piece must inevitably escalate to Sinister Soviet Shit

      Yeah but even that doesn't explain it, it's just a convenient cover.

      There's that scene where the little girl practically deadpan looks into the camera and is like, "I'm a Capitalist, capitalism is good." And then there was another season with Soviets too iirc. And then I think the new Umbrella Academy has it too, to say nothing of shit like The Romanovs.

      Like it goes beyond an 80s nostalgia wave. I dunno whether it's DoD shit or what. It's extremely blatant.

          True but it's also girl boss lib shit. I find it annoying but that doesn't mean it wasn't the intention to be inspiring or whatever. They didn't play "Fight Song" with the intention to be cringe either.

          Overall, it just seems to me a very unsubtle attack on all fronts.

        Yeah but like, she's 8. It could have been written by a Marxist or Pete Buttigieg.

      I only watched the first two seasons, and your comment convinced me not to go further :p
